Ryan Smith Discusses Micromidas, Turning Waste into Plastic

Ryan Smith, co-founder and chief technical officer of Micromidas, discusses how the company uses an innovative microbial process to convert raw sewage into non-petroleum plastic that degrades in six months to a year. (via Melodies in Marketing.)

Totally innovative! I love how Micromidas deals with two problems at one time – getting rid of waste and creating a biodegradable plastic that doesn’t rely on oil or other resources extracted from the environment.
